It really is that middle ground between the perfectly pieced and planned out traditional quilts and more free-spirited art quilts. It harkens back to tradition without being stifled by it.Malka Dubrawskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083110156921462398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-34127429465728976582010-03-09T08:44:44.740-05:002010-03-09T08:44:44.740-05:00Gorgeous!

I really like the minimalism, simplicity, and freshness, having never felt affinity with traditional blocks and muted colours so typical of many traditional quilts. <br /><br />Also interesting is the formation of the Modern Quilters Guild and how quickly it seems to be spreading.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LucyPrincess of The Golden Threadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457923184654427215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-15178915658601374892010-03-07T17:33:34.023-05:002010-03-07T17:33:34.023-05:00Oops...forgot to say that I also think your quilt ...Oops...forgot to say that I also think your quilt turned out really great!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-66656723633382972672010-03-07T17:31:16.596-05:002010-03-07T17:31:16.596-05:00Well said, Melody and Melissa.Well said, Melody and Melissa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-24342059483572652072010-03-07T16:47:05.409-05:002010-03-07T16:47:05.409-05:00'I was all caught up in being original.

If it's made for the bedroom how could you get any rest with all that "noise" going on...LOL I'm more conservative and like warmer, earthy colors and this would be just as lovely in those colors, too. Nice job.<br /><br />Yes, simple, easy quilts can be very beautiful. Like a classic, simple black dress, these types of quilts are timeless.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-51131886420371137782010-03-07T12:14:29.641-05:002010-03-07T12:14:29.641-05:00Melody,
